00:00 Hello, I'm Veronica Montes and I'm here at the iconic TCL Chinese Theater to talk about
00:09 my Hollywood debut in Desert Dawn.
00:12 Tell us about your movie Desert Dawn and the character you play.
00:16 Yeah, this is an action thriller movie.
00:20 It's about a FBI that is trying to solve a case and my character, the name is Honesty
00:27 and she's trying to help him to solve the case and she flirts a little, you know.
00:36 On the first day you were on set, how did you feel?
00:39 I was really nervous.
00:41 I was really nervous.
00:42 It was my first, it's my first project in English so it's not my first language.
00:48 That's why I was shaking.
00:52 How did you prepare yourself physically and mentally for this film?
00:56 I think because of my career and all of those years that I work in this industry, I was
01:04 prepared but not in English, you know.
01:09 So I practiced my lines like a month before and I was practicing every day and I went
01:17 to prepare for that and the thing is that they changed the lines before I was going
01:25 to say, before they say action, they changed the lines so I had to memorize again and I
01:30 had to work again in two minutes.
01:32 So it's good for the first movie in English.
01:38 How was it like working with Cam and Kellen from Twilight?
01:42 Well, my parts are only with Kellen Lutz so it was really good.
01:46 It was really fun.
01:47 He was a really good partner to work with.
01:51 He helped me a lot so he's a really good guy.
01:56 Is there a specific moment that you will never forget during the filming of this movie?
02:01 Yes, the part when they change a little bit of the script before we go in shooting, two
02:10 minutes before.
02:12 So it was really hard.
02:14 In Spanish it wouldn't be hard for me but in English it was really hard.
02:18 I will never forget that part.
02:21 What lessons have you learned from filming this movie?
02:25 That you have to be prepared for those kind of changes.
02:31 You need to practice all of that.
02:33 You need to practice to memorize in two minutes in another language.
02:36 So yeah, I'm going to keep practicing that.
